Yes. If only the CD player in the living room of the house where we stay would function properly ..... you close the tray, and it opens again immediately. At last the HiFi upstairs works fine.

BTW - the 1949 Charles Mingus session for Fentone was both Richard Wyands' and Cal Tjader's recording debut. Wyands was on Tjader's 1954 California sessions for Savoy and Fantasy, too. He was very friendly when S. Duncan Reid interviewed him on the phone about these sessions for his Tjader biography.

Larry Willis ...... another great loss. His solo piano LP on Mapleshade is one of the most moving and sincere solo piano albums I know. R.I.P. At the same time, he was so funky on the Hugh Masekela double on Blue Thumb or his own Inner Crisis.

What a sad loss. He was an excellent player that I always enjoyed. R.I.P.

Yes, and yes. Discussions of that type drove me away from a German classical music forum. There are still enough good things happening here to keep me from leavng, but in this case I simply think that supporting Allen is much more important than fussing about words. I won't say no more in this topic.

As long as you're discussing it, it's still an issue. It's as simple as that. Words fail me to describe my feelings when I read through these pages which were thought to be a support to Allen's great work. Instead - fussing about words. The simplest rule for any forum is: If you don't like something, stay away and keep your mouth shut. Do positive, support the stuff you like imstead of fighting stuff you dislike. In the end, it only turns energy in the wrong direction. Old wisdom.

very appropriate morning coffee soundtrack ......

One mo!

This weekend's bottle:

I'm afraid they'll only include the tracks with Armstrong from "The Real Ambassadors" - isn't that Mosaic's way of handling such albums?

Yesterday: This morning.

They just wanted to prevent any of you making me a photocopy of the booklet notes!

The title is "Giant Steps" in French - she wrote her own French lyrics, inluding the solo. Excellent disc.

The general term for keyboard instruments was "clavier". Of course keyboard players played organ as well as clavicord or harpsichord, to varying degrees. I recommend Siegbert Rampes recent book for clarification: Siegbert Rampe: Orgel- und Clavierspielen 1400-1800. Eine deutsche Sozialgeschichte im europäischen Kontext. München: Katzbichler 2014. 353 Seiten mit Notenbeispielen u. Abb. (Musikwissenschaftliche Schriften, 48) Best ordered from the publisher: https://www.katzbichler.de The book cannot be found on their website, but it is available.

You mean harpsichord sound, of course ...... Cochard's first Couperin recording covers some of very favourites, like Les Sylvains. Had pulled them along with the Duphly CD. Her Bach CD will be next. Excellent, too, with another gem of a harpsichord. But oop, the label seems be in trouble.

I found it a little disappointing. Just a collection of liner notes and such, most of which I knew from the respective LP releases. Some of the more interesting are not included. Nothing new for purchasers of the records he produced.

Great playing, and fantastic sound of an original harpsichord by Christian Kroll.

Probably so - I found more mistakes like that, as if someone had written the credits and added personnel by copy & paste without really looking. Were there liner notes in that rusting steel box set? They could have thrown in a cheap copy of these.

I was beginning to think Concord had dropped him due to the long pause in releases, after so many albums.
